London has some of the best public transport on Earth. Few people in the highly urbanised parts need to drive at all.

And they definitely don't need to drive SUVs or pickups.

I'm not one of those privileged idiots who cry about people driving in areas with no or shit public transport. But again, this is London we're talking about... you're fine without a car, doubly so some gargantuan US-market monstrosity.

I live on Tyneside and one of the things that I'm constantly reminded of when I go literally anywhere else is just how good our public transport links are.

That said... the first time I went to London? Blown away. It's on a whole other level in that city.
